[Paddlewise] Better Edging

I have noticed that most of the more experienced kayakers and even some
not so experienced ones seem to be able to edge their kayaks much further
than I can.  I can't even get waterline above the shear line much less up
over the sprayskirt as I often see others doing.  This has been the case
in several of the kayaks I have paddled.  I can get more angle by leaning
out instead of edging, but then only a little more before I reach the
tipping point. Besides just a total lack of flexibility, is there some
technique I am missing to get a larger heeling angle while still
maintaining stability.   Mark Arnoldmjamja_at_earthlink.net
